DEFINITION OF BACKUP RULES: VEREXISTS: # of versions to keep while file exists (adjusted by RETEXTRA) VERDELETED: # of versions to keep on TSM when file is deleted from client RETEXTRA: # of DAYS to keep non current versions defined by VEREXISTS RETONLY: # of DAYS to keep file(s) on TSM after deleted on client (adjusted by VEREDELETED)
I would think you would set VEREDELETED to 1 After all , you are deleteing all the 'extra' versions after 7 days. Yes, we reclaim copy pools. Threshhold set to 50% setting it at 80% requires a lot of consolidation of a lot of volumes that have only 20% empty. No wonder you have long runs that need to be manually terminated. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/08/2005 3:55:58 PM >>> A couple of weeks ago I was given the opportunity to take on the TSM admin role :-) I was wondering if anyone reclaims copy storage pools. Currently, we execute a schedule to reclaim space from our copy storage pool using the upd stgp copypool recl=80 command, this is scheduled for 15:00. Then we have a schedule to set the threshold back to 100%, using the upd stgp copypool recl=100 command at 18:00, but that doesn't work. We usually cancel it manually after 23:00. I took TSM classes about 4 years ago, and my book recommends leaving the threshold 100%, meaning no reclamation will occur. Once all offsite volumes go into an empty status we can bring them back. Our versions info - versions data exists, versions data deleted, retain extra versions, and retain only version are all set to 7. Wouldn't the tape empty after 7 days? Thanks, Debbie
